The Norte is a beast; >19kms of incline. When you finish you get a gold star. Total respect for those who complete that Camino.

[@erinmh]

As always, you’re editing draws me into the experience. 🙏🏻 I’m dreaming of the Norte and Primitivo hard. Also, dreaming of a good tortilla, won’t lie.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

glad you like it. I have to go back to walk the Primitivo. I've heard is one of the most beautiful Caminos in Spain.

[@BDETravels]

We started our Camino and channel after watching his videos.

[@carelbrendel8447]

Outstanding vlog showing the beauties of Northern Spain.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

thank you Carel

[@lucindalandauer1691]

Efren, we just love your videos. Thank you for making them with such quality and sincerity of heart. Your sweet spirit shines through. Your integrity is a beacon in this dark world. Fantastic editing and music always! Keep up the wonderful work!

[@andresrodriguez-munoz3489]

Fantastic videos of the Camino from a peregrino perspective. I have vicariously experienced the Camino through your narrative and your lens, and I’m ready for the real thing. Thanks, Efren.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Buen camino

[@revlindaumc]

What a wonderful day you captured so beautifully! Two pretty murals early on, serene countryside, cute gray kitty, and oh man, those coastal views! That was your reward for all that mud. This was a very interesting day to see through your eyes. Thanks!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

it was very memorable. del Norte is just full breathtaking days.

[@TheAnactoria]

What a glorious day!!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

it was everything you want on the camino

[@revlindaumc]

Wow! I'm almost running out of words. I think this has been my favorite day yet! Fields and forests, flowers and trees, dogs and cats, that stunning coastline, the refreshing waterfall, the buildings, and so much more. What a day. I loved it!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I'm a man of few words but lots of visuals lol thank you.

[@cbz3830]

Cool as always,planned to do Camino del norte now ,but Corona arrived😣 greetings from New Zealand

[@geraldinehadiwidjaja7421]

What a day! Forrest, ocean, cat, dogs (even if you were attacked). Oh, and the flowers. Enjoyed your vlog very much as usual. Thank you, Efren.

Great video!

[@brosfloressj6841]

The flower lapel is back! Another splendid job efren!

[@Rogar0]

Fantastic Efrén, glad to see you back on the way after a couple of days; been missing you man! As always brilliant footage an amazing attention to detail! ¡Buen Camino! 👣🍷👍😎

[@Walk_with_Efren]

thank you Rogar. I'm posting twice a week but working on this 24/7. it takes a lot of effort to edit around 40 minutes a week.

[@Rogar0]

@@Walk_with_Efren I am sure it does!! I am actually gobsmacked what you have been able to achieve, not only walk the Camino, but also do all the flilming and vlogging! Especially the Drone footage is awesome I myself did the Camino Francés in 2010 (the Holy year) and walked indeed from SJpDP through to Santiago. My idea was to do it twice; the first time and the last time! I only had 2 problems with my Camino; the left foot and the right foot!! The Camino becomes addictive! So in 2015 I did a short one from Santiago through to Fisterre and Muxia. The 3rd time was actually in 2016 when I did the Caminho Portuguese! From Lisbon through to Coimbra, then Tomar and onto Porto finishing in Santiago. I have started looking at all your Drone footage which really brings a lot of memories back of my own Camino! Now at the age of 78 I did want to do the Camino Primitivo but due to lockdown of course have not been able to! ¡Buen Camino! from Arthur R (alias) Rogaro! And thanks Efrén! Great stuff!

[@mariosaldanam5352]

Saludos cordiales, buen camino.

[@lorenzogella]

Amazing shots as always Efren 😍 can't wait to do this Camino one day

[@redmirage13]

Awsome videos as ever ! I know I repeat myself , but each time I'm deeply grabbed by emotion. No other camino vlogs do me feel this way. Sometime, tears are not far. Thank you so much !

[@debbiegarza1287]

That’s it buddy! Blame the Texan for your burger fix!😀

[@Walk_with_Efren]

🤪😂🤣

[@KerjeanLopes]

Belíssima etapa Efrén! Aqueles cães estavam só brincando, ainda bem!! rsrsrs

[@Walk_with_Efren]

yes they were playing but a little rough at times. It was border line between playing and attacking me. they followed my for about a block.

[@a3b33dubs]

Your videos are such a blessing during this time! It really makes me feel like I'm on the journey with you. The sounds, the little details - you don't overlook any of them!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I'm really glad you like it

[@salvatoregranata7878]

Note los eucalyptos y había mucho en el Camino Portugues desde Lisboa en la ruta interior que me recuerda aquí en Australia

[@j.demieres4154]

Como dato curioso, las primeras semillas de los eucaliptos que tanto abundan en la costa norte de España, fueron traídas desde Tasmania por un obispo gallego en el siglo XIX. Los eucaliptos se integraron muy rápido en el ecosistema, y actualmente son los que alimentan la industria papelera; pero son una especie invasora que degrada mucho la vida fértil de la tierra y seca las fuentes de agua cercanas. Saludos desde Asturias.

[@TimmyTours]

🍺 n 🍔 hahahahahaha, are you sure they didn’t say B n B bed n breakfast lol

[@Walk_with_Efren]

probably lol

[@CoffeeFuelledAdventures]

Whoop, vlog 17 is here

[@michaelthatcher3825]

Beautifully filmed Vlog as usual....did you drink some of the specially served cider in Villaviciosa which is the 'apple capital' of Spain? The way the waiters pour it from on high is an entertainment in itself.

[@tomjohnson4584]

This is my favorite blog of Efren’s so far of ALL his vlogs ( and I’ve seen about 75% of them). The cinematography is stellar and Efren, as usual, is an engaging host. THIS will be the episode I recommend to others to suggest they watch these vlogs. But wait, will they be able to watch?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

thank you so much Tom. this playlist will remain open / available to all audience until I finish all the vlogs and move on to the camino Ingles. only then will I make half for members only.

[@tomjohnson4584]

Great reply! Thanks Efren. As a Member I am sometimes unsure who will be able share the joy I have in these vlogs. I get that we all need to make money from our Art. At least Enough. I love that word: Enough.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

just trying to make enough to make this my living but I'm still a few years away from accomplishing that goal.

[@gjbs55]

Wonderful vlog Efren! I was wondering, is the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trek in Japan also in your future plans?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

definitely. also the 88 temples.

[@gjbs55]

Awesome!! And there is also the Nakasendo Trail.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I might do them all if I get the time off next year.

[@gjbs55]

Fantastic!! Japan is offering to pay part of their tourists costs to boost tourism there once the open up. Their tourism industry dropped 99.9%

[@BelkisRaffaella]

Hi Efren, how do I become a member so I can keep enjoying the videos?
